This chart illustrates miscellaneous permits finalized during fiscal year 25/26 compared with fiscal year 24/25. Miscellaneous permits include projects not associated with new construction, such as patios, pools, block walls, HVAC installations, and water heater replacements. The data shows a decrease in finalized miscellaneous permits in 25/26 relative to 24/25, mainly due to a decline in the number of solar permits.

BUILDINGDEPARTMENTHISTORICAL DATA
BUILDING
This chart shows single family residential permit history for the past 21 years broken down by year. The chart specifically covers issued permits. These permits are down significantly since the 2005/2006 boom, and have cooled again recently due to economic factors, such as interest rates, although 2026 numbers have bounced back somewhat.
Issued Single Family Residential Permits
This section is included to provide historical context and to illustrate both current and past Building Department trends, which have historically been tracked by calendar year rather than fiscal.

This chart shows miscellaneous permits issued for the last 6 years broken down by year.
Miscellaneous permits are permits for items that are not associated with new construction, such as patios, pools, block walls, HVAC, and water heater changeouts.
The bulk of these permits are for residential solar installations, which have tapered off since the regulations for solar net-metering changed in 2022.
